§ MR. W. H. K. REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1) whether he has received a memorial from the medical superintendents and medical officers of district lunatic asylums in Ireland as to their position under the Local Government Bill; and (2) whether the representations of these gentlemen will receive the consideration of the Government?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe reply to both paragraphs of this Question is in the affirmative, though in making this reply I must not be understood as giving any pledge that the representations of these memorialists will be acceded to.
